Summary
A Nova Scotia woman’s life turned upside down after a tick bite — now she’s living with alpha-gal syndrome, an allergic reaction to red meat and dairy triggered by the lone star tick. Carrying an EpiPen and avoiding her favorite foods, she’s facing daily fear of outdoor exposure. This rare condition, caused by a sugar molecule in tick saliva, can lead to life-threatening reactions — and though not officially tracked, doctors are seeing more cases. Public health is urging caution: check for ticks, use repellent, and seek help if symptoms arise after a bite. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
